Text 934. Occupy Anshi

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Not long after, the Tang army announced that they had occupied Anshi City, and Anshi fell into the hands of the Tang army.  The city lord of Anshi, Yang Wanchun, left Anshi with more than 2,000 troops, and then ran towards the east of the city.  This is also a pity. After all, the Tang army was not able to surround Anshi, which gave them a chance to escape.  But in the end, Anshi was still occupied, so the Tang army could prepare and wait for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive here.  As for whether the 100,000 Goguryeo reinforcements led by Yeon Gaesomun will come, this is no longer known.  Because the original purpose of those reinforcements was to allow Yang Wanchun to defend Anshi, and then launch a pincer attack with 100,000 reinforcements.  But now that Anshi has fallen, their plan will fail.  Whether they will come again or not is no longer known.  Jing Wen sat on the seat of Yang Wanchun's palace, tasted Yang Wanchun's tea, and said, "I didn't expect that this Yang Wanchun would have such a hobby. If I had known that he liked drinking tea, I, the first tea merchant in the Tang Dynasty, would  Just give him some!" Dugu Mou wanted to laugh a little, Jing Wen actually said something sarcastic at this time, but he was obviously laughing at Yang Wanchun.  But Jing Wen is qualified to laugh at Yang Wanchun, because Jing Wen really defeated Yang Wanchun, so Yang Wanchun deserves to be laughed at.  "Dugumou, how many soldiers did we lose this time?" Jing Wen asked.  Dugumou replied: "Probably more than 700!" "More than 700, even with advanced tactics, are there still more than 700 casualties?" Jing Wen was a little helpless.  In fact, all of this was due to Yang Wanchun's insistence that led to the current result. If Yang Wanchun could take the initiative to retreat after the city was broken, then perhaps the current result would not have happened.  But Yang Wanchun refused to take the initiative to retreat, which would only cause great losses to both sides.  However, Jing Wen promptly used formations and tactics suitable for street fighting, which greatly reduced the Tang Army's losses.  The Goguryeo people lost a total of seven to eight thousand, while they lost more than seven hundred, which was only one-tenth of the opponent's.  What's not satisfying about this?  So Jing Wen was also a little helpless.  "Get the soldiers under control and send them back to the country for burial!" Jing Wen said.  "Okay!" Dugu Mou replied.  In fact, we can conquer this city with only more than 700 people.  What's not satisfying about this?  You must know that in history, Li Shimin led hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Anshi, but he fought for several months without being defeated.  Yang Wanchun, who guarded Anshi, also became a rare failure for Li Shimin.  And now Jingwen has defeated Anshi, which can be regarded as a reversal of the original history.  Yang Wanchun's tactics for defending the city were completely vulnerable to Jing Wen's absolute strength.  Jing Wen's street fighting tactics can be said to have restrained Yang Wanchun's city defense tactics, and the support and cover of various artillery fire allowed the army to easily conquer the city wall.  Even Li Shimin in the original history could not do this, so the Tang army in this period was much more powerful than in the original history.  As long as Liaodong City and Anshi are successfully captured, it means that Goguryeo's first line of defense against the Tang Dynasty has completely collapsed.  Now Datang can continue to attack at any time, and then attack the hinterland of Goguryeo.  As for what¡¯s next.  The hinterland of Goguryeo was not very inhabited.  You must know that the entire country of Goguryeo only has a few million people, but it has almost half of the three northeastern provinces of later generations, and more than half of the Korean Peninsula. Such a huge land has only a few million people, which is enough to show that their vast territory is sparsely populated.  .  The population of Goguryeo is mainly concentrated in the Korean Peninsula, the capital of Pyongyang. As for the population of Liaodong City and the defense line of Anshi, Goguryeo arranged the population here in order to be able to resist the attack of the Central Plains Dynasty.  Anshi also has a line of defense in Liaodong, which is the most important line of defense against the Central Plains Dynasty.  It is also a bridgehead for them to open up the Central Plains Dynasty, so this is a place where the population must be arranged.  However, the defense line of this Liaodong Anshi generation has collapsed, so the next step will be much easier.  As for Goguryeo¡¯s reinforcements, they could only choose to fight in the field with the Tang army.  But they were engaged in a field battle with the Tang army.  He will definitely not be a match for Tang Jun.  Goguryeo's army is only a few hundred thousand. If Goguryeo's 100,000 reinforcements come this time, as long as they are defeated, their vitality will be greatly lost.  Jing Wen is not afraid of them now.  On the contrary, he very much hopes that these Goguryeo reinforcements will come over and commit suicide. Then Jingwen can rely on cannons to bombard them, and they will not be able to hold on at all.  "Jie Shuai. We have searched the wealth of the wealthy households in the city and the city lord Yang Wanchun. In the private warehouse of the city lord Yang Wanchun, we found a lot of wealth. This wealth is more than one million yuan, which was owned by Yang Wanchun over the years.  And if Yang Wanchun, the leader of the city, can plunder more than one million coins, how much can someone much taller than him be able to plunder??We don't know how much benefit we can get if we wrap up the territory and land in their name.  With Liaodong, we Tang Dynasty people can reproduce millions of people!  "Lin Fei said excitedly. "This time we are taking back the country for the country. Although it is only in name, it is no different from opening up the territory. And Lin Fei still seriously underestimated the capabilities of Liaodong. Later generations of the three northeastern provinces  It has a population of hundreds of millions, so if it occupies the Northeast, it will be enough to support at least tens of millions of people, almost equal to several times the current population of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the Northeast is still undeveloped, and not only can agriculture be carried out in the future.  Farming and even animal husbandry are all possible. Moreover, there are abundant reserves of various industrial resources. There are also many forest resources, and there are countless resources that cannot be seen at the moment.  There is a saying in later generations about the "Beida Cang" where roe deer were beaten with sticks and scoops were used to scoop out fish, which is enough to show that as long as this land can be obtained, it can be used by people all over the country, although it cannot be developed for a while.  Come out, but you must at least store it first so that you can have enough time to develop it. That is to say, you must establish your sovereignty first so that you will not be afraid of losing it in the future. Even if you lose it temporarily, you will have a reason to get it back.  After establishing sovereignty, the immigration policy was stepped up to attract the people.
